Board reviews plans for two‑story house at 11221 NE 9th Court, requests more renderings and dimensional details

Applicant representatives presented plans for a two‑story single‑family residence with pool, garage and landscaping at 11221 NE 9th Court. The board conducted a technical, advisory review rather than a final vote: members walked through zoning data, asked for precise lot‑coverage calculations, and reminded the applicant that total lot coverage includes all built surfaces (house, pool, drive, walkways and mechanical equipment). The Chair emphasized the village limit that second‑story projections on the setback line are limited to a 30‑foot maximum and that additional elements must be set back a minimum of 5 feet beyond that line.

Board members also discussed base flood elevation and building height calculations: the applicant said the base flood elevation is 8, and the applicant plans to maintain finished‑floor elevations consistent with county flood rules. The board requested renderings and color materials to assess visual massing and asked for a landscape/ tree survey to show which existing trees remain and which will be removed. Members noted several plan gaps (missing driveway and driveway width dimensions, missing total lot‑coverage summary box) and instructed the applicant to upload corrected and more detailed drawings before the next review; the board explained three reviews are standard prior to permit approval. The applicant was given guidance on the village's expectations for window placement to reduce direct views into neighbors’ yards and on options for obscuring egress windows with screens or decorative treatments.

Next steps: the board moved this application from the consent agenda to a discussion item and tabled formal action pending submission of corrected dimensions, renderings and a tree/landscape plan. The applicant was told to submit revised documents by the Monday before the next meeting so the board can conduct the second review on the next cycle.
